Use of Leave

Civil Air Patrol leave is capped at 15 workdays per calendar year. However, this cap does not apply when responding to a state or nationally declared emergency in Missouri. You will not lose any leave, or any other rights or benefits, to which you would have otherwise been entitled while on Civil Air Patrol leave. The Company may request that you be excused from responding to a specific mission, which your supervising wing commander must grant.

Notice

The Company will not retaliate against employees who request or take leave in accordance with this policy.
